Energy is Essential for Success as a Wedding Planner

Let’s face it; the hardest part of the Wedding Planner business is finding brides. We all want to have a foolproof way of attracting them and even though there really isn’t one, I’d like to share a few thoughts on how I keep my business so successful.

Planning and orchestrating the “perfect” wedding takes a lot of time and energy. We, as Wedding Planners, are required to be up-beat, excited, and always have the answer for any problem that may arise. Since the business takes so much out of us, the last thing we need is to allow the people around us to take our energy, too. I’d like to help you find ways of keeping your energy so that it’s there when you need it for your brides.

People who are well-meaning, but never have a positive thing to say are the very people to avoid. This is easier said than done, because they may be very close to you and you don’t even see it. Try this, the next time someone comes to you with a problem, evaluate how you feel once you’ve helped them. If you notice that you feel worn out, a little depressed, lacking in motivation, etc. then you’ve just let an energy stealer have some of yours.

The next step is to learn how to save your energy in stressful situations. When someone comes to you for advice, or to talk to you about something that is troubling them, etc., it’s very important that you not completely invest yourself into them. Begin by looking at the issue they raise objectively. Try not to “feel” the problem, don’t take it on to your shoulders and make it yours. Once you’ve learned to objectify these problems, the solutions to them will come more easily and your energy won’t be drained out of you in the process.

Lastly, when you are feeling particularly unmotivated, take a few moments to remember why you started this business in the first place. Savor the memory of the first Wedding that you planned that went off without a hitch. Congratulate yourself on how far you’ve come and then focus your thoughts and energy into what you are doing and where you want to be. It works! After I realized that a lot of my energy was going out to the energy-thieves, I began to identify, objectify, and re-group my thoughts. After that, it was easy to remember why I loved being a Wedding Planner. I now am enjoying great success, not only in my business but with my family, too. I have even been able to open a Dcor Division.

Center yourself by thanking your Higher Power for all the gifts you’ve gotten. Remind yourself why you pushed so hard to get here. Then put on that “glowing” face and get out there and be the best Wedding Planner you can. YOU CAN DO IT! I am, and loving every minute of it!
